The stuff from the filter looks turquoise, so I there is some blue to it.
Water is finally clear. It got very cloudy at one point, and had foam almost as thick as shaving cream. After that I started to use Borax to bring up the pH instead of the Balance Pack.

The water has a bluish look to it now, but it does look clear.
Readings from the dealer. I have previous owners Taylor kits, not sure how old the reagents are. I need to replace reagents correct?

TDS 900 (not sure what that is)
CYA 133
TC 5
FC 5
pH 7.5
TA 161
adj. TA 121 (not sure what that is)
Copper 3.5
Iron 0.5


At opening this year, the we had
CYA 120
pH < 6.2
Copper 5
Iron 2
TA 10

So we think the acid may have etched the heat exchanger. It would be nice to find a replacement, or know a way to repair it so that it does not keep adding copper. We've changed the filter media 8 - 9 times since Memorial Day.
